Cody Rhodes is arguably the most popular good guy wrestler in WWE today. He helped launch the rival organization AEW and is still an attraction in AEW Fight Forever. It's good news for wrestling fans, and next to CM Punk, Cody is probably the most mainstream wrestler in the video game.
Unfortunately, Cody Rhodes isn't immediately available, and players must earn and unlock him before they can use him in AEW Fight Forever. Luckily, the methods to unlock Cody Rhodes are achievable using the following methods.
Unlocking Cody Rhodes In AEW Fight Forever
After booting up AEW Fight Forever, jump into exhibition modes and the Road to Elite career mode. To locate Cody Rhodes in the game, use the following steps:

- In the Shop menu, press the RT on Xbox, R2 on PlayStation, RZ on Switch, or the arrow keys on a keyboard to highlight the More Items menu.
- Cody Rhodes is the first AEW wrestler available to purchase using in-game AEW credits.

How To Get Credits in AEW Fight Forever
All credits in AEW Fight Forever are in-game currency and can be earned just by playing the game. Thankfully, there are some faster methods to earning credits to get Cody unlocked as quickly as possible so players can use him in exhibition matches and the career mode.
Challenges
Challenges present the player with daily and weekly tasks to complete and earn credits. The Challenges can be located on the main menu screen by pressing RB/R1/R to highlight the new menu. There are daily, weekly, and secret challenges to participate in.
Exhibition Mode
Having a five-star match in AEW Fight Forever's exhibition modes will unlock more AEW credits as a reward. Five-star matches are usually determined by a match's length, how much of an exciting back-and-forth battle it is, and how many near-falls there are.
Taking the fight to the outside, using weapons in AEW Fight Forever, and hitting signature and special moves contribute to earning five stars.
Try Everything
Even if playing AEW Fight Forever's mini-games aren't appealing, playing them for the first time or with friends will unlock more AEW credits. This extends to creating a new tag team, customizing wrestlers, playing the career mode, Casino Battle Royale, and more.
With enough credits earned, players won't have much trouble unlocking Cody Rhodes and other rewards like alternate attires.
AEW Fight Forever is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
